Beau is an interesting enough guy, but he needs to modify his act a little to maintain interest. Darkbeer is clearly on the Beau side of the aisle, but geez guy… give some of your OWN opinions. I have nothing against cut/paste from other sources. But you could at least add some of your own editorial content to the post. Patrickegan and Woody can both be interesting on occasion, but come on guys… give us a fact at least every ten posts or so. In the meantime, they are kind of amusing because they always add their two cents worth whether they know a damned thing about the topic or not. Kind of like me. ;-) DouglasDubh is certainly verbose, isn’t he? I think the “spew key†on his computer is stuck. He spends page after page expounding in detail on marginal details that no one on LP really cares about except Dabob2. They really should set up a DouglasDubh/Dabob2 section on these boards so they can have fun without disturbing other folks. Basically, get a room guys. Which brings me to a person I don’t see very often, which is kind of a shame. HyperTyper is so damned good he could probably turn me into a Republican. I’m almost glad he’s not around very much… his absence reduces the cognitive dissonance in my life. By the way… you guys know I love you all and my comments are somewhat tongue in cheek. I may disagree with most of you about 90% of the time, but I enjoy hearing your views. LP-WE would not be LP-WP without you!

Roadtrip, if we talk about Iraq all the time you know what I am going to say at this point... I just need to find some more creative ways to insult the commie supporting, Saddam loving, Prius driving, Christams hating liberals.

I recommend you close your eyes and say. la la la la la. You'll have less heartburn.

When GWB first ran for the Republican nomination, I actively supported a different candidate. I don't agree with some of the things Bush does or how Bush does some of the things he does. However, I am very much in support of what he's done with taxes and with fighting terrorism, and I think Bush was a much better choice than McCain, Kerry, Gore, Nader, or Buchanan. I like Schwarznegger over Davis or Governor Reconquista... er, Bustamante. I'm a limited-government conservative with some libertarian bent. I know that life begins at conception; I'm convinced that the U.S., Iraq, and the rest of the world are better off because of what GWB has done; I believe that the legislature should make laws and courts should apply them; I believe that the U.S. is a sovereign country that should protect its borders; I believe the Second Amendment to the Constitution says what it means; I recognize that marriage is a unique kind of contract that involves both sexes, and I don't believe the people of any state should be forced by a court to recognize any other kind of arrangement as marriage; I believe that the Federal government should stick to what the Constitution says it exists to do, and not get involved in such things as eduction or many other things in which it has gotten involved; I believe that someone should be able to do whatever they want with their own property as long as it does not infringe on the true rights of anybody else - rent it or not to whomever he or she wants, hire/promote/fire whomever he or she wants for whatever reason, etc; I believe that the human race is one race and that people who act differently are foolish but entitled to do so with their own business. Is that neocon?

Not everybody has the same free and easy access to housing and employment. That's because unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who want to deny true equality to everyone, and hire and fire them and deny them housing "for whatever reason, etc.". >> I believe that the human race is one race and that people who act differently are foolish but entitled to do so with their own business. << "Differently"?

Originally Posted By gadzuux Don't take that previous post too harshly. I almost forgot that it was me who was wondering aloud whatever happened to you. The larger point is that this "all things disney" board has some rousing political debates, and your half of the aisle isn't being well defended lately. You're certainly welcome to stick around and let us know what you think.
Originally Posted By fkurucz FWIW, Neocons remind me of Democrats: They love to spend money. They love to run up huge deficits. They love to start stupid wars that we later can't just walk away from. They give lip service to "family values". They engage in politics of "personal destruction".
Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<Whew! Thank goodness I didn't make RoadTrip's list. I figured with RoadTrip's content for me lately I would be doomed. >> Hey Tom... I never have contempt for you... even when I think your opinions are somewhat lacking. I didn't include you in the list because you are rather hard to categorize. You call yourself libertarian and I think that comes far closer to your beliefs than neocon.
Originally Posted By wahooskipper Beau is no more redundant in his posts than are the liberals who bite back. These topics teeter totter back and forth from one side to the other but nothing new is added and rarely are opinions changed. Again, it is no surprise that the Conservatives are in the minority when this board is largely made up of people from the West coast. I respect Beau for being so steadfast in his viewpoints even when knocked around. Not that I always agree with him or his tactics.

Originally Posted By woody "The "message" likely didn't get through because of all the static caused by the wiretaps." Ahhh.. Very funny. About the wiretaps, the Democrats were notified of the secret program. That makes them accomplices. Gee whiz. Sometimes people never learn. The Democrats have absolutely no credibility. They sound alarmed about things that might play negatively in the media, but which is perfectly legal. ------------ <a href="http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2005/12/i_did_the_job_y.html" target="_blank">http://justoneminute.typepad.c om/main/2005/12/i_did_the_job_y.html</a> And here is straight talk from Nancy Pelosi: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she had been told on several occasions that Bush had authorized unspecified activities by the National Security Agency, the nation's largest spy agency. She said she had expressed strong concerns at the time, and that Bush's statement Saturday "raises serious questions as to what the activities were and whether the activities were lawful." Oh, she had expressed strong concerns at the time! That's why she was asking for Congressional hearings, and sending cryptic letters to the White House and the Justice Department, letters she will no doubt produce in due course. (No, I can't think of a reason in the world she has not produced them already - maybe her staff has been busy with their holiday shopping). What rubbish. --------- I agree. Rubbish is the Democratic Party and the Liberals here.
